- Australian health care providers experience more cyber breaches than any other sector, with breaches costing up to $400 per patient. 52% of privacy breaches within healthcare are results of human error.
- Many medical specialists maintain policies they are provided early in their career, with the assumption it provides relevant ongoing cover. This is not usually the case.
- Staff can be your biggest asset and your largest liability. Medical practices have separate exposures and may need to have separate policies to cover your staff for errors.
- Medical indemnity is compulsory for all registered medical professionals in Australia. Honan provide a free market analysis and can negotiate premiums on your behalf - a service your medical indemnity provider cannot facilitate.
